Be it known that], JOHN Gouuun'o, of Dedhsm, in Commonwealth oi Massachusetts, have in: vented, constructed, and applied to uses new sndluseful Im rovement in the Mode of Msnufscturing 001 or other Fibrous Msterills, for which the Letters Patent of the United States of America werev granted to me date on the th day of December, A. 1826, and the specification thereto annexed throu inadvertence and by mistskenot containing an exact, full, precise e lsnstion of the invention which I, thessld Gounumo, claimed as my own, and for which I desired the seid Letters Patent should be issued, and there is reason" to a rehend that said Letters Patent. may be p I that the terms and'conditions prescribed, by the not of in such case made and provided, hsve not by such inudvertence and mistake been complied with on the part of the said GOULDI'NG, and l, the said GOUID- rial is spread, uniformly over a certain; spam, in the well known and accustomed mo, in conformity with the provisions of the act of- Congress in such case made and provided, have surrendered unto. the Secretary the said Letters Patent to be canceled, annulled, and made void. I do now hereby declare. that the following specification of my said improvement contains a full and correct descriptionthereuf. and the invention which I claim as my ownis not forth in those full and exact terms in which they should have been made in the original spat-i ficatiou upon were granted. The more fully to point out said improvement and invention it is' neces sary to refer to parts of the machinery which I do not claim and to the drnwings which accompany and are to be considered part of this specification. v
